How can I tell my close friends I need to focus on myself?

[Anonymous]

I need to work on myself and i don’t know if my friends will understand that. we talk almost everyday on the phone and it’s draining because i need to focus on my education and my life. but talking to them on the phone and texting takes up my whole day and i don’t know how to approach it to them.

Tell them that you love them so much, but you've been feeling stressed and overwhelmed lately and you just need some time on your own to work things out. Or simply tell them you'll be really busy and won't be able to talk as often as you used to. Either way, if they're good friends, they should understand.

First make the decision that you're going to tell them.
Then tell them the truth.
That simple.
If you don't do that than maybe you don't care about your life like you say you do
Maybe you care more about the opinions of other people
You are NOT responsible for how another person chooses to feel or think.
We all have the ability to feel and think however we want, though 99% of people don't make use of that ability.
